What Dancers Say About AURA Dance Studios

4.7/5 from 38 Google reviews.

Aura dance studio is the best place to learn your dance! We got our wedding first dance lessons from Jamie and he was very patient with us ( I have 0% dance DNA) and came up with amazing choreographs that are not only beautiful but also doable. He also taught us how to do the lifts and initially we chickened out and wondered we should have a back up move but Jamie believed in us and strongly encouraged us to try the lifts and we are so glad we did! With Jamie and Polina’s help, we managed to do the lifts like a breeze on our wedding day! Jamie also gave us lots of wedding tips including wha— Emiliana M

I've been attending private tuition here for over eighteen months now. Due to work and other commitments, I am not the regular student I want to be (but in the near future, quite possibly!) but I have never been treated other than fantastically well by AURA, and can honestly state that their welcome, communications, standard of teaching is a joy to experience. Put simply, if you want to have fun with dance, or to take it super seriously and need a teacher to take you to that level, look no further. Martin Cutler runs a superb school and Lynne is a tremendous (and very patient) teacher!— Rachel Louise Swann

My wife and I have been attending a beginners course for 4 months and have had the most fantastic time being under the care of the whole teaching team at Aura. We were both filled with trepidation about learning to dance but the team, led by Martin, take great care to put you at ease and the whole experience has been fun and much easier than we expected..— Daryl Start

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

The basic salsa step is quick to pick up, usually within a lesson or two, while smoothness and turns come with regular practice. Learning in a class keeps the progress steady and enjoyable.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Definitely. Beginner salsa classes assume no prior experience and introduce the moves gradually.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Yes, many adults take up ballet later on. As this is a multi-style venue, it is worth asking what ballet provision they currently run for adults.

What age is too late to start ballet?

There is no age at which it is too late; adult classes welcome beginners of all ages at a suitable pace.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

Common ones include the grapevine, walks forward and back, a touch or tap, a kick, and a turn, which repeat through the dance.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Repetitive dances such as the Electric Slide are ideal for beginners because the same short sequence carries through the whole song.
